A judge reduced Hogue's bail from $200,000 to $100,000. Hogue posted bail late Monday night and was released from jail, the paper reported citing jail records online.

Deputy District Attorney Vanessa DuVall told the court Hogue tried to persuade his accuser from coming forward in a phone call recorded by police.

DuVall said Hogue told the girl to lie and to "say nothing, nothing, nothing at all."

Hogue was arrested last week as he was driving to the girl's home to speak to her in person, DuVall told the judge.

On his Internet blog, boy's varsity basketball coach Hogue expresses love and admiration for his student athletes at Oceanside High School. He also writes about his family, including his wife, 4-year-old son and teenaged daughter.

In one blog Hogue wrote, "What's your motivation? Mine has to be family, being a great dad and creating good future fathers."

Investigators say the first incident occurred two years ago when the victim was 15-years-old. The second allegedly happened last month. Soon after, the girl told school officials Coach Hogue was "annoying" her.
